In Titus 1:5, we learn that Titus was to “set in order the things that are lacking and appoint elders in every city.” By His perfect wisdom, God has laid out how the church is to be governed in His Word. It is such a blessing that God’s design for the leadership of His church has been revealed to us. We must ensure that our practices and doctrine today mirror with what Scripture dictates

As the shepherds go, so goes the church. One of the most dangerous things leaders can do is to appoint men who are not biblically qualified. Conversely, one of the most life-giving things leaders can do is to properly identify and present elders to the church for affirmation.

On March 15th, we will be gathering church leaders for teaching, fellowship, and prayer in Montgomery Alabama.

The meeting will begin at 5:00 pm and will conclude at 9:00 pm.

Several church leaders including Scott Brown, Alexander Strauch, Jason Dohm, Jonathan Rodgers, Joe Dooley, and others will be delivering messages.

Also, “The Life of a Shepherd” conference begins the next morning at 9:00am with supper, in Montgomery where Alexander Strauch, Jason Dohm and Scott Brown will be speaking of Biblical eldership, and particularly some of the most important matters in the life of a shepherd in a church of Jesus Christ

Please accept our invitation to, "Our Marriages and the Marriages of Our Son's and Daughters." This is one of my favorite gatherings.

Our national conference in 2017 is taking place just a few days before the 500-year anniversary of Martin Luther nailing his 95 Theses to the Wittenberg Door on October 31, 1517. This is why we are directing our attention to the doctrine and the fruit of the Protestant Reformation.

The heart of the Reformation was repentance. This is the source of all times of refreshing. At this conference, we will be hearkening back to some of the great doctrines of the Protestant Reformation but it will be even more focused on the reformations of church and family that are in motion today as God continues to reform His church.

Please accept our invitation to a time of fellowship and encouragement on Thursday, October 26th, from 12-3 PM, just prior to the Repentance conference.

At this luncheon, some of our speakers will share what is "burning in their souls." All men and boys are welcome to attend. We will begin our time together with a delicious lunch before hearing from Scott Brown, Kevin Swanson, Craig Houston, and others.

The cost is $35.00 per person.

What kind of leaders are we? What are we focused on? How are we behaving? What are our innermost motivations? Our mini church leaders conference will focus on these things through the lens of 1 Thess 2:1-12, where Paul explains the kind of leadership which the Thessalonians experienced.

One of my hopes for 2017 is that pastors in a region who embrace the sufficiency of Scripture will begin to know each other better and in turn, work together to advance the kingdom of Heaven in their communities.

On October 19, we will be gathering church leaders for teaching, fellowship, and prayer at Westside Baptist Church in Bremerton.The meeting will begin at 1:30 and will conclude after dinner which will be provided at 6:00 pm.

Foundational to our approach at the Father Son Retreat is that a father needs to bring his son into a wholesome world and engage him in spiritual training. For our purposes, a father should enter into a boy's world… the world of camping, canoeing, tug-o-war, fishing - the great outdoors! The retreat is being held in a wonderful “Ponderosa”-like outdoor setting with lakes, canoeing, pasture land, and hiking areas. We will fish, gather around a campfire, and look heavenward to the stars to drink in the majesty of God. Fathers and sons will be instructed in critical matters of manhood and leadership. This year our instruction focuses on "21st Century Battlefields." We will be speaking about the various battleground issues presenting themselves in this century.

One of my hopes for 2017 is that pastors in a region who embrace the sufficiency of Scripture will begin to know each other better and in turn, work together to advance the kingdom of Heaven in their communities.

To that end, the NCFIC would like to invite you to a luncheon for prayer, mutual encouragement, fellowship, and exhortation to be held on Friday, September 8, 2017 in Kerrville, Texas.

We are excited to announce this retreat for young couples who have been married seven years or less.

Generally, most of the people who come have children getting older - nearing the age of marriage. Without fail, many of them say two things to us, first: “We sure wish we had known these things 20 years ago.” Second, they say: “Why don’t you do a marriage retreat for younger married couples in order to help them lay foundations? Then they won't say, 'I wish we had known these things 20 years ago.'”

Because of this, we have decided to hold a marriage retreat for young couples June 9-10 at our home in Wake Forest.

The public proclamation of the gospel in the context of local church life is a matter of life and death for everyone connected to that church. At this conference, we are seeking to equip local churches in evangelism. You will hear messages that focus on evangelism and the individual, evangelism and the family, and evangelism in the church. We pray that this experience will be for the improvement of evangelistic activities at all levels of church and personal life.

Please accept our invitation to, "Our Marriages and the Marriages of Our Son's and Daughters -“ In California! This is one of my favorite gatherings. We are very grateful to take this conference to California this year. We are limiting the group size to 30 couples. What does the Biblical picture of marriage mean? What are the true heartstrings of happiness in marriage? What are the little foxes that make marriage hard? Further, we will speak about how we might be a blessing to our children in helping them to choose and how they should look to the Bible to guide them as they enter into the process of getting married.

Please consider coming to our national conference next year titled, “The Fear of God.” We will be developing the doctrine of the fear of God, as well as discussing the applications of this doctrine for our own hearts, homes, churches, and government.

One of those promises is found in the book of Proverbs: “By humility and the fear of the LORD / Are riches and honor and life” (Prov. 22:4).

The cost is $35.00 per person.

Please accept our invitation to our 2015 National Conference - “The Highway of Holiness.” Using Isaiah 35:8-10 as our touchstone, we will unfold the doctrines of the holiness of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. After laying this foundation, we will then explain how the holiness of God relates to various aspects of our lives here on earth, for these great doctrines have wonderful practical applications. You will learn about progressive sanctification, wrong views of holiness and sanctification, the means of sanctification, and how holiness relates to family relationships, work, stewardship and the church of our Lord Jesus Christ. We will examine what it means to be a holy church as Peter described, "But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light" (1 Pet. 2:9).

One of my hopes for 2015 is that pastors in a region who embrace the sufficiency of Scripture will begin to know each other better and in turn work together to advance the kingdom of heaven in their communities.

Please accept our invitation to, "Our Marriages and the Marriages of Our Son's and Daughters." This is one of my favorite gatherings.

Further, we will speak about how we might be a blessing to our children in helping them to choose and how they should look to the Bible to guide them as they enter into the process of getting married.

Deborah and I have been married for 32 years. My parents, Bill and Mary Brown, who have been married for 66 years are a very special addition. We also will have some of our married children with us and that provides many opportunities for conversation about matters of getting married.

At this conference we will continue the work of rebuilding the most powerful of God’s earthly discipleship and evangelism engines – The Church and the Family. How is this possible? It is possible when church and family life are joyfully watered from the wells of salvation, “With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation,” (Isaiah 12:3). This text identifies the thread that we will pull throughout this gathering.

Shepherding the flock of God is the focus of our gathering. The importance of something is often known by who loves it. In the case of the church, we see Christ’s love for her. He loves His church, so much in fact, that the apostle Paul would declare in Acts 20:28 the motivation that should drive elders who shepherd the church. He said, “Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.”

This year, as I am traveling to different geographies I will be meeting with small groups of local church leaders in order to be together for fellowship, discussion, and prayer.

I will be giving a message on shepherding, Steve Gruitzius and Gary Powers will also be bringing us messages on the same subject. Come join the NCFIC and other church leaders in your area for a gathering of fellowship, encouragement, prayer and instruction. I will be having church leaders meetings like this in different parts of the country as well. Please feel free to bring your sons or other men you might be discipling for leadership.

Have you ever needed some detailed, practical counsel for your marriage? Have you ever wished someone would speak to the everyday matters that pop up in your marriage and family life? Have you ever heard sound teaching, but wished for more than broad theological principles? You needed someone to speak frankly. You wanted someone to show you exactly how the biblical principles applied in the real situations you are experiencing.

This year, as I am traveling to different geographies I will be meeting with small groups of local church leaders in order to be together for fellowship, discussion, and prayer.

David and Monica have been married 3 years, and Taylor and Blair about 3 years.

On this tour, we will focus our teaching on matters of church and family life. While families are in a state of frustration and even collapse all over the world, we bring a vision of hope. That vision is the biblical vision for family life. This conference series is designed to deliver that vision of hope by explaining from the Scriptures and how family life is designed to operate in the midst of church life and economic life.

The kind of father that the Bible describes is hardly seen anymore. We need a new kind of father. But, it turns out, the new kind of father we need, is the fatherhood of old that originated in God the Father. He has revealed in His word what His kind of father looks like. On this weekend, we will be describing him directly from scripture.

This conference series is designed to deliver that vision of hope by explaining from the Scriptures and how family life is designed to operate in the midst of church life and economic life. These issues of church and family begin with understanding that Scripture is sufficient for all things – including church, family and economic life. Our desire in fulfilling the great commission is to do what Jesus commanded His disciples, to "teach them to obey all things that I have commanded them" (Matt 28:20). Our Lord, in His Word has spoken on a multitude of practical church and family issues to instruct His people how they ought to live in harmony with His Word.

Please join us on October 31-November 2, 2013, to consider, “The Worship of God.” At this conference, we will seek to examine and experience the worship of God and to say with king David, “Lord, I have loved the habitation of Your house, and the place where Your glory dwells” (Psalm 26:8). Our starting point will be to establish that God must be worshipped in the way He has designed, not the way man desires. Then, we will study the various categories of biblical truth that teach us about worship. Is there any more important activity for the human soul? Is there any more important category of Christian theology? Is there anything more powerful in the hearts and lives of men? Is there anything more pivotal for home life? Is there anything more important in church life and community life, than the worship of God?

This eight-part series on the Sabbath features expositions of five critical texts of Scripture which address God's appointment of a day to spend meditating and finding joy in Christ alone. With Matthew 12 it is a message of mercy - "I desire mercy not sacrifice." With Nehemiah 13 it is a message of rescue from the judgment of God for despising Him. With Exodus 20 it is a message of duty and easing from monetary gain. With Isaiah 58 we hear a message of delight and pleasure and honor. With Hebrews 4 we come to what is perhaps the crescendo of the magnificent meaning on the Sabbath - rest, rest, eternal rest. the "rest" of the Sabbath day is symbolic of rest in Christ today and in heaven tomorrow. The day is a shadow and the earthly reminder of something greater. As Jesus said in Matthew, "something greater than the temple is here." The day reminds us of the gospel and all of its blessings and responsibilities. The message of this series is that there is only one place of rest for weary souls abused by the devil - Christ.

At White Unto Harvest 2012 A Great Commission Mega-Conference, we will seek, by the grace of God, to unpack the Great Commission, as it applies to the individual, the home, and the church. There is no more powerful force at work in the world than the life-saving, culture-transforming, disciple making power of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
